Bare Aluminum (BAL)
Bare Aluminum offers greater than 86% reflectance from near UV to mid
IR. Aluminum will slowly oxidize, resulting in a significant loss of
reflectance in the UV, and slight scattering throughout the spectrum.
Therefore, it is best if aluminum has a protective dielectric overcoat.
A protective overcoat will also substantially improve abrasion
resistance, so that the coating is less susceptible to damage during
cleaning and handling.
